When you are on a job hunt, you first need to figure out how to find recruiters on LinkedIn and fortunately, you don’t need to be a detective, instead, you just need to grease your elbow with these search functionality hacks:
🔍 If you already know their full name, simply type it into LinkedIn’s search bar and their profile might pop right up as you’re typing but, if not, click “see all results” and then press the “people” button at the top to filter out, companies, posts, jobs etc. so that you only see people profiles in your results. You need to build your 1st level connections to easily get these accurate profile results.
🔍 If you only know the company name, you can still find them, or at the very least, someone on the hiring team or the hiring manager themselves. Start by using LinkedIn’s search bar to search for the company you want and then navigate to the company’s LinkedIn page. Near the top of the page, you’ll see a line about how many employees they have, click here for their employee directory. At the top of the employee list, click the button that says “all filters” to narrow your search criteria. Scroll to the bottom and type a relevant keyword into the “title” field of the keywords section. Try searching for similar titles such as Head of People, Hiring manager, HR manager, Human resources, Recruiter, Talent acquisition etc.
🔍 If you are darting in the dark and don’t have a company name or recruiter’s full name then you can still find them, by typing “hiring + your job title” e.g., “hiring + java developers” in LinkedIn’s search bar. There are additional filters just below the search bar for you to look at hiring posts, or just people.
Once you find them send a friendly and personalized connection request.
